Writing from the capital
Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami and leave the White House. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is studying to be a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained closest to his father.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns various businesses catering to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes calculated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021.
Because of this, his colleagues mention that he has no intention of becoming a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the difficulties faced by his siblings and some officials in their first term when they tried to control access to their father, which proved to be a risky political move.
Lately, as the incoming president works on forming his administration, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty evaluator. While assessing potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of their intentions and whether they pose a threat to the current MAGA agenda.
